dc.description.abstract |
The term Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) encompasses a growing list of composite manufacturing processes, including Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), Injection/Compression Molding (I/CM), and Vacuum Assisted RTM (VARTM). The RTM and I/CM processes utilise two-piece rigid moulds, which are subject to force components due to reinforcement compaction and internally generated resin pressure. The focus of this paper is prediction of tooling forces for RTM, which will allow efficient structural design of moulds, and selection of cost effective process parameters. Previous experimental work has demonstrated the influence of reinforcement compaction behaviour, which is strongly non-elastic. A viscoelastic compaction model has been developed which addresses both dry and wet response, and is implemented in RTM simulations of simple flat parts. Non-planar geometries introduce a tangential stress acting on mould surfaces, due to shear of the reinforcement. The tooling force analysis is extended to complex parts using an existing RTM filling simulation, LIMS, which has been developed at the University of Delaware. |
